The scale is pretty acurate for Poncho so far. It says he should be around 5 1/2 lbs. ... and that's about right. It says Sasha will be only 4 lbs. She's closer to 5 lbs.

chiwi has been very accurate. she is 8 months old and only 2.9 pounds. she may not even reach 3 1/2 like she was charting out to be.

now jumba on the other hand lmao! he is 2.1 pounds at 8 weeks so he will be 5 1/2 to 6 pounds. we'll see lol.

Tink is 14 weeks today and the breeder told me she is 21 oz. That would put her at 2 1/2 pounds full grown on the chart, but the breeder even said she would get 3-4 pounds. I hope she's at least 3 because i'd be afraid of her getting hurt!

Trust me, even at 3lbs you'll be afraid of her getting hurt. Lina is 3.5lbs and I'm so scared she's going to get stepped on or sat on or something and get hurt. You just learn to walk with your head down a lot lol

anobody could help for ounce vs. pound?

i went to vet today and my piku weights 1 3/4 pounds. he was born june 24th 2005, therefor just a tad under 3 months old or if you prefer, right at the last day of his 13th week.

i totally cant figure the chart, etc.... LOL

thanks for the help all!!

***********EDIT************

I just found this site, SO very usefull, for everything in term of convertions.

So if I understood right and made okay calculation, my dog should be 3 1/2 at max. :P

theres 16 ounces in a pound, so that puts him at 28 ounces i think, which give him adult weight of 3 1/2lb according to the chart

aww what a tiny baby

I have been following this chart with Jolie since she was 7wks 4 days old. In the beginning, according to her weight @ 1 lb 2 oz she would weigh 3 1/2 to 4 lbs when grown. All along she has consistently gained around 5 oz a week. The chart only shows a 2-3oz gain per week. Therefore, her adult weigh has gone up nearly every week. If she continues to gain at that rate, she will be just less than 7 lbs when grown. Today at 17 weeks, 3 days, she weighs 3lbs 10oz according to my digital scale. The scale at the vets has always shown her to weigh a couple oz less than mine. She is a teeny little thing and i do hope she makes it to at least 6 pounds because of the potential for injury issue. 7 pounds would be ok also. I think most people don't realize how small 7 pounds is. I also think a lot of people with chihuahuas underestimate the weight of their dog and would be surprised if they were to weigh the dog on an accurate scale.
